For 20 years, we have been consistently rented all summer long and into September. One of the most consistent comments is how close we are to the beach and how extremely clean the house is upon arrival. Comfortable, relaxing 4 bedroom cottage on quiet street in one of Maine's most family-friendly ocean-side resorts. Short three-minute walk to the beach close to the town and world famous Pier (ten-minutes walk) with great access to golf, boating and the historic attractions of Portland, just 15 minutes away. The house has been recently painted, renovated upstairs bathroom, new living room furniture, new porch windows, new carpeting and with many updates, including a dishwasher and is suitable for families up to 8 people. Outdoor private patio, perfect oasis! Also has two full bathrooms, laundry, dining room, living room, wonderful front porch, off-street parking, WiFi, and a back yard patio all make this the perfect vacation getaway by the sea. Only 90 minutes from Boston, there are five daily trains between Old Orchard and Boston. See previous renter comments below:

'We had an excellent visit, we especially loved the porch and the general layout. It's a very cute house, and we also loved that there were two full bathrooms. " Dianne S, 2016 "We had an excellent vacation. We loved how close the house was to the beach and downtown; we loved the covered porch and the comfortable living area. The house was very clean which was important. It had all the kitchen accessories that were needed. Communication with owners was excellent. You answered very timely which is also very important to us." Elizabeth W., 2016
'Thank you for letting us stay in your house this weekend. It is beautiful and convenient, everything was perfect. We have been renting different houses in Maine and New Hampshire in the last years and I have to say it was, by far, our favorite one.' Anne-Marie G., 2015 'We especially liked the coziness, location, cleanliness, size.' Sheila V., 2015 'We liked the the close proximity to the beach and the pier .' Robert C.2015
'Just wanted to let you and your brother know that we had a wonderful trip and enjoyed our stay at your house. I guess we picked the right week to be at the beach because it was hot! The ocean water was very refreshing. We spent just about every day at the beach and loved the fact that the house was walking distance to the beach, pier and miniature golf. We also enjoyed watching a Raging Tides baseball game (the stadium is just up the street from the house). We did venture out to Acadia National Park for a day. We got the kids up at 6:00 am and returned around 11:00 pm. We were only able to see the highlights because of time constraints, but did stop and eat at the Jordan House. All in all, a great vacation. Thank you for sharing your house. We rarely vacation in the same spot twice, but definitely would consider a return trip.' Laura, S. 2013
'First of all, we want to Thank You for providing such a nice home to spend our vacation. Your home far exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate to rent again if it were available. We have already told some of our friends about the home and some do visit there, so you may get some correspondence. The house was very clean and well kept up and spacious enough for the whole family. It was located close enough to the beach and everything else going on. The neighbors were great and a nice neighborhood.' Gary B., 2013
'This is our second visit to your home in OOB. We absolutely love this home and the owners. The owners truly care about their renters and are responsive to any issues.

Close enough to the beach, yet far enough away from night life to provide a quiet and peaceful setting.We had a lovely time at your beach house. Thanks for having us! Susan F., 2011
We really enjoyed our vacation week. Beach is close, four bedrooms and two bathrooms are really perfect. Nice to have outside dinner and the gas grill. The home was clean and all utilities were fine. Gabrielle B., 2011
'Our stay was excellent -- loved the location, close enough to the beach but away from the beach traffic loved the porch, spent many afternoons reading & sipping wine........ Your kitchen was great, everything we needed; having a washer & dryer was also a big plus. My family, friends and I wanted a vacation on the beach to just chill. Your house was so comfortable, even the teenagers commented on how nice it was (kids never notice anything!). We were close enough to the attractions to walk and far enough away to enjoy the peace & quiet. I will keep your email address for future vacations and will definitely recommend to anyone I know. Gail H., 2010
Our family enjoyed your place and our stay there. Most of all, we are thankful for the memories that our family now has because of our stay there. The house was very clean and tidy when we arrived. The set up and space was nice. Having the house stocked with almost EVERYTHING was great! Joyce D. and family, 2010
We had a wonderful time at your house. The location is great, a nice easy walk and we were loving the quietness of the street! Your house is really nice and it fit us perfectly. Michelle V., 2009

This is a beautiful property, within walking distance of groceries, restaurants and the beach. The home was clean and spacious and we especially loved relaxing on the front porch and reading. Thanks for a lovely stay!
The location and hosts were great. However the place is in need of updates and a good cleaning especially the showers and front porch. The house is advertised to sleep 9 we had 5 and it was challenging. The bedrooms are small with little room to maneuver around.
The property was really cozy and had all the amenities we needed. It is 2 houses away from the train tracks and we had fun watching different trains go by each day. Also it is very close to the beach with easy access.
The location is very accessible to the main town and Palace Playland and Pier. We had many things to do as a family!
The owners were very thorough with the welcome binder and house rules clearly explained. If I had to make a complaint the only thing that was negative is that the grill was very dirty and old. We ended up not using it because of that. The house was comfortable and we would stay there again!
Perfect location and perfect little house. Great communication with owners. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was very clean and well kept. Everything we needed was available.
We were very pleased with our stay. The location was perfect and the house was really clean. We were able to walk to several locations nearby and enjoyed evenings on the porch. We would definitely like to visit Old Orchard Beach again!
This was a cute house to stay in. It was cozy !
Although if going to stay here or you have to bring regular towels, hand towels, buy toilet paper, Bring your own sheets Etc.... The walk to the beach wasn’t very far! The living room was cozy with its oversized couches. Everything was very clean
The beach was a short distance away and while we planned to spend most of our time at the beach, the weather didn't cooperate! We spent time with each other in the house and on the screened in porch enjoying the cool, wet rainy days. Nearby family would pop in for visits. We did a day trip to Boston and when the sun made an appearance we enjoyed the pier, the beach, and a day at Fun Town. We created many lasting memories at this cozy cottage.
Very convenient! Great location. Kitchen well equipped. We contacted David for a little problem and he did respond quickly and done his best to resolve the problem. We enjoyed living there for 9 nights and would certainly return.
Very quaint, rooms on the smaller side but met our needs. House was very clean!! Walking distance to Old Orchard Beach and not far from other attractions.
David's home was perfect for our family vacation. I stayed with my daughters, son-in-laws, and grandchildren, ages 1 -9. Everyone had a great time. This home is in a quiet, safe neighborhood, but an easy walk to the beautiful beach and Pier area.. The train goes through several times a day but was not disruptive at all, in fact it was a big hit with the little boys! OOB has a fantastic family atmosphere. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable for the week and David is extremely responsive to any questions. I would love to stay here again.
Property nice and clean. Close to tracks though. Could use a few updates, ie, toilet seat,tub, some paint in a few places? Small rooms. Great owner communications and owner was flexible for us.
Very nice place. It was fully stocked. Very cozy place close to beach and not far from the pier or the activities in the area . We would definitely stay at this house again.
This was a lovely house for my family of 4 to call home for a week. Cozy and comfortable, with all of the cooking and dining tools you would need available. The hosts were communicative about town construction that was taking place (and was of course beyond their control). An easy short walk to a beautiful beach and a nice walk into the downtown area. The Amtrak line is close by and the train whistle is hard to ignore, day and night.
We had a great vacation in OOB. The house was very clean and the kitchen was very well stocked. It is on a quiet street with a short walk to the beach and a little longer walk to the pier. I would definitely rent this house again.
We loved staying at this cute beach house. The owners were very nice! Place was very clean and had everything we needed for a great stay at Old Orchard! Would definitely rent again with my family!
